How to Try Out Fonts Before You Make a Decision

To get a clear visual of how a font looks, use a pangram – a sentence that uses all the letters of the alphabet. A familiar pangram is “The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.” A pangram can be set alone or repeated to create a block of type.

For a large amount of text, use nonsense words or Latin to examine the weight and style of the font. This technique is known as greeking and is a good way to approximate the overall feel of the type.
